Description

The Dahmen Barn and wheel fence is located in Uniontown, Washington, USA in the beautiful Palouse region. Built in 1935 for use as a commercial dairy operation, the barn was purchased in 1953 by Steve and Junette Dahmen. Steve built the surrounding wheel fence over 30 years, starting with a gate of rake tines. After friends began contributing wheels, the fence quickly grew to over 1000 wheels. There are wheels from every kind of machine -- an antique baby buggy, threshing machines, push-binder wheels, sidewinder or delivery rakes, old hay rakes and gears of every kind, large and small. The wheels range in size up to 60 inches in diameter. Steve also designed the antique weather vane and installed it on the barn roof in 1990 and fashioned some metal "greeters" - a farmer holding a pitchfork and nippers, and a wire-eared dog place at the entrance to the barn. The fence is a landmark whose photo has been in publications such as National Geographic Magazine, and artists and photographers come from afar to use it as a subject for their work.
